Adam Smith's The Wealth of Nations was recognized as a landmark of human thought upon its
publication in 1776. As the first scientific argument for the principles of political economy 
it is the point of departure for all subsequent economic thought. Smith's theories of capital
accumulation  growth  and secular change  among others  continue to be influential in modern
economics. This reprint of Edwin Cannan's definitive 1904 edition of The Wealth of Nations
includes Cannan's famous introduction  notes  and a full index  as well as a new preface
written especially for this edition by the distinguished economist George J. Stigler. Mr.
Stigler's preface will be of value for anyone wishing to see the contemporary relevance of Adam
Smith's thought.
